The 17th Street Festival will be held Saturday, September 12th from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. in the 1500-1600 blocks of 17th Street, NW. ANC 2B is a proud sponsor of the festival and of our local businesses!

The festival celebrates the arts and diversity of Dupont Circle, including 40 artists, pet zone, kids’ area is Stead Park, entrepreneur area, and lots of vendors, plus your favorite restaurants and retailers of 17th Street.

The stage is programmed all day – from drag shows to rock performances. The 17th Street Festival is free and open to the public – rain or shine.

The agenda for the September regular monthly meeting of the Dupont Circle Advisory Neighborhood has been published. The ANC meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 7pm at the Brookings Institution at 1775 Massachusetts Ave NW.

On the docket this month is at least one item of note for our neighbors:

1508 Caroline St NW - Application for zoning relief to construct a rear and side addition. This project has been presented to the neighborhood before when they were seeking historic preservation approval. Through meetings with neighbors, the applicant and the ANC's Zoning, Preservation and Development Committee, we have developed a compromise that may alleviate some concerns for neighbors and can be supported by the ANC. The changes include angling the rear of the project so it does impact light and air to the neighbor on the west. The Committee also wanted to make sure that building out to the property line on Caroline St did not become the norm and will include language in its draft resolution as such.

Welcome! This site serves as a resource for residents of ANC 2B09 in U Street and Dupont Circle. I provide updates with information on upcoming meetings, events in the neighborhood, and discussion topics.
